How do you cultivate your key talent?

The weather has been beautiful here in San José so I’ve been out gardening. I love nurturing and watching things grow — whether they be people or plants.

This fun guide makes 13 key parallels between training and gardening. While whimsical, it also makes solid and thought-provoking points.
